GIRL LOAEERS.
A Glass of Maynard Young Women to Be
Found Only in New York.

- ~'sSo "a WY -" ~ III Y A1U
Found Only in New York.
Her head was held erect and her face
wreathed in smiles as she went out of
court. She waved her hand to some
desperate-looking youths, mere lads, on
the benches, and whispered to the
nearest one: ''Ill be with Maggie or de
island to-morrer. I'll give her de best
love of de gang"
Thus she spoke of going to Jail. A
few years ago she would have been
classified in that same court as q
%''piyoter,' but to-day she comes under
the term ga chippy." Pivoter means a
girl addicted to picnics, excursions,
and other affairs at which there was a
great deal Of pivoting, or waltzing, and
chippy means a young thing. Both
terms apply to the same class of way
ward girls in short dresses. You get
al idea of the size of this town when
you realize that there are enough
misguided children Of one sex to
add to u language a word for COM
mon use. The police estimate that
there are twenty thousand Of these girl
arabs in New York, and at least as
many more in Brooklyn, Jersey City
and Newark combined.
They are the feminine counterparts
and consorts of the gangs for which
we are notorious. They are the prod
ucts of our tenement-house system, in
which humanity is so crowded that the
children have to grow up in the streets
for want Of room indoors. The sample
chippy is a revelation to humanity.
She is feminine in nothing except
dress. She boasts that she was never
known to cry, She fights like a boy,
and would as lief fight with a boy as
not She smokes, drinks, swears, picks
pockets, pliers, and sometimes uses
tobacco. She haunts theater galleries,
picnics, skating and bathrooms. She
is Indifferent whether she sleeps at
home or in box wagon laid up in a side
street over night. She terrorizes her
parents. and, joining with other chip
pies every morning, desccnds on the
avenues where goods are exposed on
the sidewalks, and they are rs if a
scourge was upon them. Julian

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
THEIR LITTLE MISTAKE.

Twas five o'clock one winter day;
Lessons were over. school was done,
And laughing, chattering, full Of fun,
A group Of school-boys sped away,
Joyous at leaving work for play.
Then, as though striving hard to shun
Their gay companions, three boys sought
A quiet corner hid from sight,
And talked in whispered words, half caught
Somewhat to this effect:
"You're right
Jones is a sneakl what made him 60
And tell old Doctor Robinson
That you and Jack and l had done
That ugly drawing meant to show
The doctor minus the red wig
That covers up his bald old pate'
OF course we do not care a fig
For punishment: at any rate,
A hundred lines apiece to write
Wen knock them of this very night.
But Jones-how best to pay him out2
That is the thing to think about"
~ tell you what it is" said Jack,
rive got a plan to pay him back.
Directly after tea tonight
We three will hide-therell be no light
AT one end of the corridor;
And, when Jones passes, seize him tight,
B!indfold and gag him. all before
There's time for him to make a sound.
Then, having him all firmly bound,
Well carry HIM up stairs ct once,
And toss him in a blanket, so
That he won't peach again, I know,
Or I'm a Ounce"
"Agreed. agreedl' his comrades said;
"We'll have him ere we go to bed"
The plan conceived was carried out.
That night the three stood silently,
The shadows hiding them from view
Where Jack had said, and just about
time when Jones would pass, they knew
"Hc's coming now 1 know his treadl
Be ready both to hold his head
And gag his mouth, while l will seize
and hold him firmly by the knees!"
The plot was good! A~llhappened right,
And soon the prisoner, gagged and bound
Was gayly borne into the light,
When 10! it wasn't Jones, they found!
They'd caueht-with horror be it said
Old Doctor Robinson instead
Tell you what happened then! Now why!
You surely know as well as I.

Clever Sc0undrel.
Senator Logan was not a n
making man. Fifteen years ago it was
estimated that he owned property in
and around Chicago that was worth
about $780, 900, but the panic of 1873
cleaned him out, and he has since had
nothing to depend upon but his salary
OF $4,000 per year as Senator. Several
years ago he owned a farm in Illinois.
and although he was warned that a
geological survey of the State proved
that there could not be coal on his land.
q rascally contractor came along who
insisted to the contrary. He said that
ne would drill down after coal on the
farm and that II he did not find It ho
would charge nothing. If he was sue.
cessful he was to be paid 5000. Lo.
gan thought it was q good offer and ac.
cepted it. The fellow ran his drill
down about three hundred feet and
found nothing, but ''salted" tho hole
with specimens, which he carried to the
General, who paid his 5000. and the
rascal decamped. At an expense Of
about $4,000 Logan caused a shaft ia
DO sunk to the point where the swind.
ing contractor declared he had discoy.
cred q vein Of coal, and then tho fraud
was discovered. The sharp was never
found afterward, and Senator Lopa,
bore the ioss.--PAilodelpAia Times.

and gents wore badges and flowers OF bright
and yariegated colors. The gents, as usual
on such occasions, had on their lOng'tail
blacks, but the dress OF the ladies was
fairer and more radiant, consisting OF every
style and color Of silk, satin and lace.
Among many handsomely attlred were

,Ir. Corcoran's Latest Art Purchase,

Some months ago attention was called
by The CRITIC to the portrait of Sir Moses
Monte6ore on exhibition In the Corcorau
Art Gallery, painted by the rising young
American artist, Mr.. George d. NJ. Peix-
otto Of New York. Mr.. Corcoran has Just
purchased the porirsit and presented it to
the gallery. There Is fitness in this pur-
chase, aside from the great merit OF the paint
with Sir Moses In London, and he has the
liyeliest recollection OF the kindness and
courtesy Of his English .phllanthroplst.
Thus one good aud true man honors the
other, and gives TO the patrons OF art aud
lovers Of humanity the'lllieness of one OF
the greatest human benefactors, and, to
crown all, American art and artist are recog-
nlzed, for the portrait is a masterpiece In
breadth Of style, technique and colorlng.
